Winslet says the harsh weather conditions in the Purcell Mountains near Calgary and the scene where she came face to face with a lion frightened her, although she “loved” working on the project.

“As hard as it was, as scary as it was, I really did love it. It was quite frightening, but amazing at the same time because of how spectacularly beautiful it was,” Winslet said.

“I was excited by the physical challenge. I hadn’t done something quite so extreme for a really long time,” she added.
